Being a first time mom, I was a little scared to wash my baby by myself. I felt like I couldn't get into all her little crevices & I bought this tub after watching many reviews on it. I know it looks weird & seems like a waste of money. My friends would tease about how it was just a bucket & I could go to walmart for a cheap one, but I loved it. Its actually made from 100% Recycled Plastic & it has no polycarbonate, no bisphenol-A, and no paint. It's smooth on the inside to ensure your babies safety & I've heard people compare it to "being in the womb". You use both hands, one just under your baby's head and the other to wash her. Its a little hard at first, but the bigger your child gets, the easier it becomes. My daughter looked so comfortable floating around in the warm water. She never cried & I knew she was fully clean!

I don't believe this is built for a new born. More for when your child is able to sit up with assistance. My children love being in the water and did not have a problem while in any type of bath. But it does depend on your child and their nature towards water and bath time. Some of my mom friends children do not like bath time and so this makes it slightly difficult .
